Excerpt from The English Graduate Record, Vol. 1: November-December, 1905

Still more numerous and varied are the directions for instrumental music. In Elizabethan times the orchestra played soft music while Bassanio was making his choice of caskets, very much as it does to-day. The passing Oftime between acts was indicated by music. The various directions for Trumpet, Flourish, Tucket, Sen net, Alarum, Short Alarum, and Sound for Re treat are rather confusing. Perhaps it is sufficient to note that such variations exist, most of them intended for the trumpet or cornet. A sennet usually indicated the arrival of a king, and a tucket a call to arms. Horns and trumpets, drums, tabors and pipes, lutes and haut boys, in a word, nearly all the musical instruments com mon to the time were used in the presentation Of these dramas.
